I believe in 97 they started the vortec 350 and they ran until 2001 not real sure but any salvage yard will know what years will fit. there are also different engine codes I think they are W and Z that will make alot of difference in the computer.

The bolt has to go into the reciever form the front. It is inserted with the dog. This is a pain, but the bolt, dog, and action arms(from the pump) have to come together and be held just right to slide into place.

1) If the round did not discharge, you must take this to a qualified gunsmith as the riffle could discharge when manipulating the bolt, safety, trigger, or due to mechanical shock. Make sure you transport the rifle with the muzzle pointed at something that can stop the bullet - consider a sandbag, phone books or several pieces of wood. Do not carry it in to the shop, ask them to come out and assess the gun

2) If the round discharged, do the following:

Empty the clip
Point the gun towards a safe location
try pushing the bolt forward and then rotating the bolt, once it moves do not put any forward or back pressure on the bolt

Failing that, repeat the process with the trigger pulled

IF THERE IS A LIVE ROUND IN THE CHAMBER YOU COULD GET A BLOWBACK SO DO NOT DO THIS IF THE ROUND IN THE CHAMGER DID NOT DISCHARGE

Failing that, remove the trigger assembly if you know how

I highly recommend going to a gunsmith as the gun is not longer trustworthy once the bolt tangs are in question

If you want to see the results - look up blowback - think the entire bolt going through your eye and out the side of your head - seriously - bolt failures are extremely dangerous.

Make sure that you gun is well lubed. Some times after cleaning we can forget to properly lubricate the bolt and associated parts. Also a light lube might tend to freeze in cold weather making it harder to operate correctly. Use a heavier lube in cold weather as lighter lubes will freeze and make firing the rifle impossible.

Are you talking about a full magazine? You have to get the bolt out of the way because it is too tight? Take out 1 round and see what happens. Does it do it to an empty mag? You are not talking about a stripper clip are you? You know they don't come with magazines, the 30 rnd mags you get that are detachable have been modified some how. And they don't go in easy. Not like an AK, Let me know.

Without seeing it, It's hard to tell, the closest I can come is the extractor plunger, or a part of the lifter.3 pins in there, your trigger plunger, and 2 pins on the safety.None are the shape you noted. Going by this drawing anyway. I didn't want to take my 550 apart to look for it, But I will if I have to. There is one more pin in the end of the tube magazine.
